| S3 Control: Adding Control to Change Management
Most IT organizations today recognize the
centrality of change to their operational
effectiveness. Many have invested in process
automation tools such as a Change Management
system or a Service Desk. Yet, a gap persists
between actual change activity and the
documented Change Management process. This
change control gap results in manual activity by
IT departments to control and minimize the costs
of change.
Solidcore S3 Control bridges this gap by adding
control to change management. This is
accomplished by providing customers with realtime
visibility of changes being made,
accountability to validate change activity and
technology-based enforcement of change policy.
Solidcore S3 Control is easily configurable to
increase the availability of IT services, accelerate
the successful implementation of ITIL
(Information Technology Infrastructure Library)
projects, and reduce the cost of compliance
initiatives such as Sarbanes-Oxley or PCI.
Visibility, Accountability, and Enforcement
 Solidcore S3 Control provides:
Visibility into changes happening in the enterprise IT infrastructure
- Real-time, continuous (non snapshot-based) change tracking across entire infrastructure
- Powerful search of real-time change database for rapid root-cause analysis
Accountability for employees and consultants charged with deploying ticketed changes
- Automatic and accurate reconciliation of actual change against change tickets
- Integrates with popular ticketing systems such as BMC Remedy®.
Enforcement of change policies and processes
- Technical change policy enforcement to prevent out-of-process changes to systems before they happen
S3 Control Architecture
Solidcore S3 Control is comprised of a real-time tracking and validation module that is installed on individual endpoints to be controlled, and a central console that enables single-point administration and monitoring of systems. Individual modules within the central console can be easily added on to provide different kinds of functionality.
